[quote=Anonymous]I know this is very healthy and good but I am having a hard summer. My oldest (of 2) is headed to college and is pretty much out of the house 24/7 this summer. 
He works 9-4 M-F and then sees friends almost every evening. He has a girlfriend who is also in the mix. He just took a week off of work and went mountain biking and camping with friends. Then he's headed to Europe for 2 weeks in late July. Then the beach with friends and to a friend's cabin in West Virginia. Plus there have been other beach and camping weekends so far. I think we'll see him for a week in August before he leaves for college at the end of the month.  
I'm home alone with him this weekend (husband and other kid are out of town at a tournament) and he has plans to go to a concert tonight and to a baseball game in Baltimore and dinner tomorrow. 
Meanwhile I have the slow social life of a 50 year old--I have good friends but it takes an act of God to get almost anything on the calendar in the summer. I know this is all just a prelude to him leaving full time in the fall but it's hard! We have a great relationship--I really like him and I he generally likes us (his parents). He's kind and respectful but just so darn busy balancing friends and life. It's all good stuff.

Can you relate?
